To say this doesn't drop from the final boss is just spliting hairs. We all know you have to defeat the boss before you can get the opportunity to loot these and other goodies from the chest

Given the inexplicable itemization hole for tanking boots, if you don't pick Flesh Beast's Metal Greaves from the Mana tombs quest you may end up using these for a looooong time.

Aside from FBMG, the next upgrade outside of heroics from a 5man is... the Obsidian Clodstompers from Botanica... Which aren't even tanking boots. They merely have 2 sockets and a lot of stam, and can be socketed with blue +defense or +dodge gems to compensate.

These boots are highly favored by Dps Dk's to take away from the tank :). 3Ramps and this has droped all 3 times and everytime dps Dk's have won them

8 runs in ramparts, not one boot.... :(

Stick 2, 12str gems and you have boots to last you till WOTLK for any Plate DPS class, and even tanks

You can also gem http://www.wowhead.com/?item=24091 for armor penetration at this level, however when Executioner is up this would place you over the cap. I'd still keep it on, to maximize the uptime of the hard cap.

So the next time you see a DPS who wants this weapon and you're a tank, let them have a fair roll too. It's amazing for them just like it is for you. ^^

These boots are made for clomp'in. and that's just what they'll do. one of these days these boots are ganna clomp all over you.

DK dps seem to think they deserve these more than their tank...be prepared (if you tank ramparts) to have to do multiple runs to win these boots!

Thanks to WotLK gems, these (and most other outland items with sockets) are now way over budgeted.Chuck a few strength (or stamina) gems on these and they'll last you to Northrend.
